Today is June 22 (a Monday in 2026) and that makes it national Onion Ring Day! Yes, the taste treat with a little bite! To celebrate Onion Ring Day, I decided to use our air fryer and whipped up a batch of Nathan’s onion rings. OK, OK … so I should have done it from scratch, but I favored convenience over tradition for today. Internet sources (try Wiki) report that one of the earliest recipes for onion rings came from a publication of recipes in 1802 by a British food writer named John Mollard. Further, it … “called for cutting onions into slices, dipping them into a batter including Parmesan cheese, and deep-frying them in lard. The recipe also suggested serving them with a sauce of melted butter and mustard.” Wow. Sounded great in 1802; and sounds great today! I took this photo of onion rings after coming out of the air fryer yesterday (June 21, 2026) at our home in Naples, Fla.Click here to see all my photos of our air fryer … (Remember: Click on the small image for a bigger version – then click on that one for the full-size photo.)
